Plateau lawmaker, Yusuf Gagdi, predicts APC‘ll rule Nigeria for 100 years

The member representing Pankshin/Kanke/Kanam federal constituency of Plateau State in the House of Representatives, Yusuf Gagdi, has predicted that the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), will rule Nigeria for the next 100 years.

Gagdi made this prediction on Saturday shortly after revalidating his membership of the APC in Gum-Gagdi in Kanam local government area of the state.

Gagdi boasted that the performance of the APC at both the state and national levels since coming into power in 2015 has given him the confidence that Nigerians will vote for the party again in 2023 and beyond.

“From the crowd you have seen here today, it is clear that APC, our party, is on ground. Though God decides what happens, but with the achievements at various levels, we will retain power beyond 2023,” Gagdi said while addressing party faithful.

“In fact, it is not just about the next general elections, but the party will remain in power for the next hundred years,” he added.

Recall that in 2008, former National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Vincent Ogbulafor, had also predicted that the then ruling party would rule Nigeria for 60 years, but seven years after the prediction, the PDP was defeated in the 2015 presidential election which brought in the APC.
